Jack Black suffered the worst celebrity death of all on the weekend … death by hacker.
The Tenacious D Twitter page on Sunday had the post, “I’m sad to officially annouce the death of Jack Black at the age of 46, rest in peace brother”.

Fans of Black and his band Tenacious D were left for seven hours wondering what was going on until someone woke up at Tenacious D HQ and posted “WE had our Twitter account hacked. We can assure you that Jack is ALIVE and WELL and that this was a sick “prank”.
